I think we dropped all stable keywords for a reason, see bug 301924 and bug 303112.

I wasn't aware of that. The reason seems stupid though.

reopen as amd64 should revert it's stable keyword too

if the only reason is that the pkg is binary-only and mirror-restricted, i agree that's a dumb reason to not go stable.

first off, binary-only is not a valid reason.  never has, never will.

if the package is currently fetchable, then stabilize it.  if it goes unfecthable, then stabilize a newer one.  if that isnt possible, then drop it.

I dropped the amd64 keyword back to testing
